Thatβs a wrap for the U19 girls this season! We are so proud of this team. We didnβt have a lot of luck on our side for this final tournament but we have accomplished so much as a first year program.
Our Crossroads Players of the final game go to Kailey Mullins & Callie Harris, whom both played multiple positions today with positivity & tenacity. Our Player of the Tournament goes to Savannah, who has personally had an amazing weekend & shown so much growth this season.
A huge thank you to our parents, players & coaches for making this all possible & all so successful! We had an amazing time at some amazing places with our perfectly blended team.

Such a beautiful new building is how I would describe the Atlantic Union Bank Center!
2pm Tip between the James Madison University Dukes and Gardner- Webb…
Kenny Brooks coached the Dukes for what felt like forever until he took the job at Va Tech on his path to the University of Kentucky. The program has always been very likable because of the level of Class it contains.
The Convocation Center was the name of the long time arena. The new one has serious Bells π and Whistles.
It’s almost time for the opening tap !
Let’s Play Ball !
Great 1st 10 minutes – JMU leading 23-22…
2nd quarter belonged to the Dukes and now they lead 52-38 (29-16).
James Madison University is rolling along now, 77-47 (1:16-3)
When UVA approached Bronco about replacing his coordinators a few years back, he surprised everyone by choosing to resign instead. Bronco brought his entire staff with him when he made the move from BYU to UVA a few years earlier and Coach had zero interest in cutting some of them loose.
The group packed up their offices π’ and headed back to Utah. A few years passed and then Bronco got the band backed together, accepting the monumental challenge of breathing life back into a dormat New Mexico.
The team started out 0-4 as the Lobos learned how to play under their new Coach. A few weeks later they stood at 3-6 with three tough games remaining. Last week they kept their remote Bowl π₯£ dreams alive by surprising San Diego State in a low scoring game.
This week, inside of the final minute they scored a Touchdown to shock #18 Washington State 38-35.
Bronco is one of the Good Guys π¦ of All-Time and now stands one win away from earning the most unlikely Bowl π₯£ bid in quite sometime. They will have to fly to the Islands and defeat Hawaii to complete the season ending Hat π Trick.
In Bronco We Trust !
The previous Coach went 11-32 across his four seasons….
